Flourless Lemon Poppyseed Muffins (Paleo)

Wednesday, October 17, 2012

I always eat the the batter. Yep, raw eggs and all. I know I know I am gross but how can you tell if the batter needs more or less of something if you don't taste it? Are you supposed to wait until you waste high quality ingredients and taste them when they come out of the oven? What do all the "professional" muffin makers do? Maybe they just know. Well this batter was SO good that only 11 muffins came out and this recipe makes 12. I am actually a little disturbed with myself as I type this out. I may have a serious muffin batter eating problem. There is always that person who takes muffin posts (and me eating the batter) way too seriously, and to that lady or gentleman...it is now a full 6 hours post my raw batter eating party and I am doin just fine (knock on wood). This recipe is loosely based off this recipe, although I made several changes that made them just a bit sweeter and super moist.

What you will need:

1/2 cup + 1 tbs of coconut flour

5 eggs

1 tbs of vanilla

1/4 cup of melted coconut oil

2 medium sized lemons juiced

1/3 cup of honey

1/2 tsp of baking soda

Zest from 2 lemons

2 tbs of poppyseeds (you could also use chia seeds if you can not find poppyseeds)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

In a large bowl mix together the eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice. Melt the coconut oil and honey together and pour into the egg mixture. Mix everything together.

In a separate bowl mix together all the dry ingredients. Slowly stir them into the wet ingredients.

Loved your intro - afterall, isn't half the fun of baking getting to pre-test the results? Between taste-testing and accidentally oversizing the baked goods I usually budget a recipe making at least 1-2 items less than it states.

I'm seriously in love with your blog.Somehow a few weeks back or a month or more I repined your vit c serum recepie in pinterest. Today I remembered I never checked it to see how it's made and that's how i found you. first I love how your blog looks. it's neat and cute. Second you have the best skin care tips ever!!!I think i've read around 20 of your skin care posts and wanting more and passed to recepies and life post. I couldn't love it more. Your familly, your babys, your photos, the way you tell things...and you are so pretty!!(I'm being such a stalker right now lol)

Lemon poppyseed is one of my favorites! It just tastes so fresh. You have shared some really delicious looking paleo treats - I have to admit I'm surprised! I might have to try a few paleo things afterall :)

I have been using your site since I started Paleo (big life saver) and this muffin recipe couldn't have come at a better time. Major sweet tooth alert, late at night. I used your recipe but only used 4 eggs because I didn't have a 5th. I also used chia seeds because I didn't have poppy, and I must say, DELICIOUS. Your page really has been my life saver. I have about 60 more pounds to lose (15 down) and I contribute some of the success to you! :)

Heidi- You can definitely try substituting with almond meal...but I am not sure they would turn out super moist.

Danielle- I am loving it! Yes, it is helping with the baby weight! I only have 5 more pounds to go and I am contributing that the working out and cutting out certain foods for sure. Yes I am very satisfied with the food options. I do not miss cheese or dairy at all surprisingly.

Tracy- this recipe does not contain xylitol but you are welcome to try out any combinations you like, although I am not sure exactly how they will turn out with other combinations.

Just popped these out of the oven! The texture is great--so light and moist. I messed up the flavor somehow--not enough lemony-ness, or maybe I skimped on the vanilla. Probably could have avoided that if I weren't so phobic of raw batter!

I like the valuable information you provide in your articles. I’ll bookmark your weblog and check again here frequently. I am quite sure I will learn many new stuff right here! Best of luck for the next..

These are so delicious warm out of the oven with butter. I made half the muffins purely lemon poppy seed and the other half plain lemon with blueberries. I used coconut sugar for the sweetener and added a splash of almond extract. I'd say, however, that even without eating any batter, the recipe only makes 8-10 regularly sized muffins. A dozen was a stretch, so I'd recommend one-and-a-half-ing the recipe if you don't want puny muffins.

These were delicious. Thank you so much. My husband has been Paleo for almost 4 years and he loved them. He had come home from work the day before and seen that my son and I had made mini muffins. They weren't paleo and he was bummed so I was so thrilled when I found these. I love your blog.

I made those according to the instructions before, and they were delicious! Today I didn't have any lemons, so instead I used 2 oranges, even put a little bit of pulp in the batter. So good! Next time will try with oranges again, and will swap poppy seeds for dark chocolate chips. I'm sure it'll be amazing!

I just tried these, they are amazing! Mine were soooo moist - almost like they weren't done completely. Is that normal? I cooked for correct time, toothpick came out clean and they looked exactly like yours! Are they just extremely moist?! This is my first time attempting gluten free so just wondering! :) thanks!

I've tried so many gluten-free baking recipes that have been total failures! This was a COMPLETE SUCCESS!!!

Thanks so much for the best lemon muffin recipe ever!! I made a lemon glaze to drizzle on the tops: 2 tbs lemon juice whisked with a 1/2 cup powdered (confectioner) Swerve all-natural sweetener. It adds an extra zing of lemon!

I wish I could have seen this cut in half to see what the texture looks like on these muffins and cakes you make- actually on all these yummy looking master piece's you are making in the kitchen. I wish you were my nieghbor or my best friend. I would have you over all the time! ...Of course bringing the sugar goodies! Seriously, You do great work and some of these things can take a lot of time with T.L.C. involved. Your kids are lucky to have you as there mommy- you appear to be an attentive mommy.Thanks for sharing your post on all the nummy- yummy's !I can't wait to get started- I keep you up to date on how much weight I gain from all this eating I will be doing from finding this site....LolT-

Made these for the first time yesterday! Holy-freaking-delicious!!! Lemon has always been one of my faves so these hit the spot! I used 1T chia and 1T poppy. Next time I'm going to skip the seeds and try putting in raspberries. THanks for the recipe! My kids liked them, too! Win-Win! I'll be posting them on my FB page MELicious. :)
